In a listening exercise, it would be because of the pronounced 's' in lisent: Il lit = /il.li/ ; Ils lisent = /il.liz/.

Because des is the plural indefinite article (so des journaux means "some newspapers" or just "newspapers"); les is the plural definite article (so les journaux would mean "the newspapers").
